Kelly Ripa is opening up about her relationship with husband Mark Consuelos, before their marriage.

The “Live With Kelly And Ryan” host, 47, sat down with Betches’ “Comments By Celebs” podcast and chatted about the ongoing trend of fast proposals, a la Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson and Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin.

Ripa too had a fast-track relationship, “Right before we got married, we broke up,” she revealed. “We broke up and we got back together the day before we went off and eloped. Yeah, we eloped. We went to Vegas and got married.”

The couple met on the set of “All My Children” in the ’90s and just celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary. Ripa and Consuelos also share three children, Michael, 21, Lola, 17, and Joaquin, 15.

“We broke up the week before we got married… he popped the question the day before we got married, but that day, that very day that we got back together, we were at a taping of ‘Regis and Kathie Lee’,” Ripa continued.. “It was their Mother’s Day special. They were pre-taping it, and one of the dreams of one of the mothers was to meet Mark and me. We were her favourite characters on ‘All My Children’.”
